[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8656953, member: 576029"] Sounds like fun. I recommend the following: Run a power wire from the battery to the amp location. Put a fused distribution block in this location (MAXI fuses are handy) and send a fused power wire to the dash such as 10AWG with 30A is a nice option.From there, land this wire on an ATO fuse block. This gives you a new fused distribution block for landing other accessories. This will feed the head unit battery wire (yellow). Then another fused output will run through a relay to the radio ignition wire (red). The relay is powered from any ignition source in the truck (also fused). ATO fuse blocks are available locally: [URL="https://www.autozone.com/electrical-and-lighting/fuse-and-accessories/cooper-bussmann-fuse-and-accessories/32322_0_0"]https://www.autozone.com/electrical-and-lighting/fuse-and-accessories/cooper-bussmann-fuse-and-accessories/32322_0_0[/URL] I sketched a quick diagram for clarity.
